Welcome to the Decorium Blog.

When it comes to modern and contemporary, many people become confused with the two and what they actually mean. While contemporary is what is in and trendy now, modern in a sleek design that is more historical. When looking for modern furniture it is essential to pay attention to the lines of a piece. Here are some tips to help you in decorating a modern home.

Make sure lines are simple and elegant

When going modern the room is about the space you fill and don’t fill. Not every way and corner needs to be covered. A modern décor is open and leaves room to breathe.

A modern design includes wall space that is a little bit more empty. 4-6 smaller symmetrical frames aligned or one large piece that leaves space creates the perfect modern focal point.

Modern style includes furniture pieces with low rise backs and clean lines.

When accessorizing simple lines and colours with bold graphics are the way to go.

For example, instead of a rug with many colours and patterns, try a rug with bold lines and one or two splashes of colour. Modern décor can be tricky but these simple steps will help you in your modern journey.

Three generations ago our grandparents immigrated to Canada after the war. Coming to this new land with nothing, they had no other option but to work hard to start their new life and support their 4 children.

Honesty, integrity, hard work and respect for others are the core virtues and values that we have inherited and continue use as the foundation for everything we do at Decorium. It’s the only way to live your life and the only way to run your business. Just like our father Joe always told us, “You can sell a customer once or you can make them happy for a lifetime.” This is our objective at Decorium.

Over the years, we have learned valuable lessons from our father and our grandfather. These are lessons that cannot be learned without having the benefit of that experience in your family. We know we must extend ourselves daily to earn the trust and confidence of every single customer who visits one of our showrooms or visits our website or social media.

The world has changed over the past 70 years but the way people should be treated hasn’t! We get this at Decorium.
